Environmental Health

Have you ever wondered what happens when there is an outbreak of food poisoning? Who inspects work workplaces to make sure that they are safe? Environmental Health Practitioners examine these types of situations and formulate effective problem solving strategies. They play an important role within society and have responsibility for the protection of public health and the maintenance of a healthy environment. If you enjoy solving problems and want to help people live healthier lives, then Environmental Health could be the course for you!
